Book Description

An enemies-to-lovers dark mafia romance between a ruthless drug lord and the fiery woman he kidnaps, from the NYT bestselling author of Blood Orange and Sins & Needles.

For Luisa Chavez, a twenty-three-year-old former beauty queen, a better life has always been just out of her reach. Sure, she’s had men at her feet since she was a young teenager but she’s never had the one thing she’s craved – security. Having grown up in near poverty, her waitressing job in Cabo San Lucas can barely let her take care of herself, let alone her ailing parents. Every day is another unwanted advance, every day is a struggle to survive.

When Salvador Reyes, the depraved leader of a major Mexican cartel, takes an interest in her, Luisa is presented with an opportunity she can’t afford to pass up. She’ll become Salvador’s wife and exchange her freedom and body for a life of riches – riches she can bestow upon her deserving parents. But Luisa quickly finds out that even the finest wines and jewels can’t undo the ugliness in her marriage, nor the never-ending violence that threatens her every move.

Soon, Luisa is looking for an escape, a way out of the carefully controlled life she’s leading. She finally gets her wish in the worst way possible.

As it is, being the wife of Salvador makes her an ideal target for rival cartels and there’s one particular man who needs Luisa as part of his cartel’s expansion. One particular man whose quest for power has destroyed lives, slit throats and gotten him out of an American prison. One particular man who will stop at nothing until he gets what he wants.

That man is Javier Bernal. And he wants Luisa. He wants to take her, keep her, ruin her.

Unless she ruins him first.

Some men were born to create empires, some women were meant to be queen.

Editorial Reviews

Review

“Uncompromising and disturbing — I couldn’t put it down. Nobody writes like Karina Halle, and in this book she takes it to a new level. If you like dark reads, I’d recommend this one highly.” – Joanna Wylde, author of Reaper’s Property
~
“A dark, unpredictable love story that blows away conventional boundaries.” – K.A. Tucker, author of Ten Tiny Breaths
~
“Dirty, dangerous and utterly addictive.” –

~
“Dirty Angels is a story about power vs. weakness, good vs. evil, strategy vs. threat. All in all, it’s like a game of chess with the addition of scorching hot sex.” –

“By the time I reached the last page, I actually said WOW out loud to myself. I won’t forget this one for a while.” – Biblio Belles Book Blog
~
“A book I had to read straight through. Karina Halle still holds the power of drawing me into a story with a pull so strong that no matter how much it may make me cringe, I have to see it through the end before I can come up for air.” – Under the Covers
~
“There is something utterly entertaining, if not confronting, about being able to embrace a reality filled with nothing but depravity and still manage to find something beautiful in it. This is a love story. This is a horror story. And it is so ugly at times, that each rare moment of beauty is nothing less than blinding.” – Natasha is a Book Junkie
